Thankful always. Especially when it's a grind

Thankful always. Especially when it's a grind

Write down three things you are thankful for today and three reasons to push forward.

Inspired by maintaining gratitude during difficult periods

This illustration represents finding gratitude specifically during hard times—when effort feels relentless and results feel distant.

Gratitude practices often focus on easy wins: beautiful moments, loving relationships, comfortable circumstances.

"Especially when it's a grind" suggests deliberately looking for things to appreciate when everything feels difficult.

The work combines gratitude with purpose clarification—identifying your reasons for continuing.

Persistence has value, but so does knowing when something isn't working.

Is the current grind in your life moving you toward something meaningful?

Or is it time to reconsider whether pushing forward serves you?

What's keeping you going?

This design explores gratitude and persistence during difficult periods.

Some wear it as motivation during challenging but worthwhile pursuits.

Others use it as a prompt to question whether the grind is actually serving them.
